Abstract:
The Danau Sentamm Wildlife Reserve (DSWR) is one of Indonesia's most important wetland sites and unique in South-east Asia and receives therefore high priority for conservation (Scott & Poole 1989). The area is Indonesia's second Ramsar site (D' Cruz & O' Gallaghan 1994; O' Callaghan & D' Cruz 1994). In 1993 and 1994 the area was visited by the author in the framework of the United Kingdom-Indonesia Tropical Forest Management Project (ODA/PHPA) to make an inventory of the reserve's bird fauna. The surveys provided baseline data for the management of the present reserve by the provincial division of the Forestry Department's Directorate-General of Forest Protection and Nature Conservation (PHPA) and the inclusion of a large area of dipterocarp hill forest in the south east comer of the reserve.
